Toto has a very distinct "language" and she will look us in the eye and "talk"! She also doesn't like two people talking to each other and paying her no attention! She will start "talking" and it's very embarrassing sometimes if she does it when I am talking to a stranger or when I am talking on the phone and she wants me to hang up!! She very distinctly says "up" when she wants up in our lap and we pretend to ignore her!!
I am soooo happy to know we are not alone!
